Our company, may not necessarily go to the show, but we might want to let everyone know about our new wizzer that dresses you in the morning. The value here is that someone who is selling books could pay for advertising space in the show booklet and let people know where they are going to be. Other companies could advertise about their new products or that they are going to have a hospitality suite, who might not want to run a booth. As an aside I have to let the show managers know that the new company offer that they made of (I think I have this right) $1500 for a 10x10 and furniture is VERY nice. That is a good way to get newer companies to show off. Just my two cents worth for keeping that going. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 46950 Community Plaza Phone: 703.450.7117 Suite 101-132 AppleLink: D1988 Sterling, VA 22170
